Floriculture crops respond differently to light, temperature, humidity and energy than high-wire vegetable crops. Their structure, density and growing patterns create unique microclimates that require a different approach to climate control. In this course, you’ll learn to look beyond greenhouse climate values and understand what’s happening at plant level. This course is also included in the Plant Empowerment Full Membership.
Course
Plant Responses in Floriculture
Influencing plant activity in ornamental crops
Managing plant activity in floriculture requires more than simply monitoring greenhouse climate conditions. To make better growing decisions, you need to understand how ornamental crops respond to light, temperature, humidity and energy, and how these factors influence plant activity.
In this course, you’ll explore the key processes behind plant responses in floriculture, including energy exchange, transpiration, light distribution and temperature regulation. You’ll learn how to look beyond climate values, understand what’s happening at plant level and use Plant Empowerment principles to optimise growing conditions and crop performance.
Course details
Who should join?
This course is designed for floriculture growers, crop managers, greenhouse managers and consultants who want to better understand how plants respond to their growing environment. It’s particularly relevant for professionals working with crops such as Gerbera, Kalanchoe, Hydrangea, Lavender, Chrysanthemum, Anthurium and other ornamental crops, especially those working with LED lighting, climate screens or data-driven climate control.
About the course
Recorded during the exclusive three-day Advanced Training in Canada, this course is part of a series covering key horticultural topics such as leaf temperature, climate strategies and data-driven growing. It builds on the foundations of the Plant Empowerment Basic Course.
